Not sure about the Guitar Hero bit, but there’s a really nice, albeit very expensive, e-ink “sheet music” device. Product name is Gvido (not a typo). I’ve been using it professionally for about a year. Clunky UI, but hugely nicer than carti

Your opening line made me laugh inappropriately. When I was in grad school in molecular biophysics, someone asked, “if I fall asleep during a talk, and wake up just in time for questions, what question can I ask, to look smart, regardless o

Interesting how people interpret things so differently. A doctor who says that keeping abreast of their field has no benefit to them sounds like the kind of person I'd not want as my doctor.

You're both right. Most modern homes are designed by builders or their terrible architects. If you're going to spend $1 million on a home, hire a good architect and get a nice home. Builders (usually) "design" terrible

In my experience, certainly no interviewers think that they're screening for "ability to study and dedicate yourself to a task." In being on both sides of the table for more than thirty years, I have never heard an intervie

This is no doubt due to the fact that I am both lazy and impatient, but I find it very hard to figure out who's saying what in this post.

It can be weird. My most recent study was quite comfy and unobtrusive. And they often start with a “DIY” home study these days. I put mine off for a long time, for various reasons...but when I started falling asleep driving home from work,

Is this "just" the sound of thunder? Or is there some other sound from a lightning strike, if you're very close to it?

What scale is this? It’s major, but no seventh tone...?

Small bug? I added a 16th row, and when you follow my link it shows all 16, but the “Rows:” in the header says 15.

Thanks for this. The tone of this article was off-putting to me. The world doesn't really break down into "us" and "stupid people."

Exactly what jumped out at me. Glad to know I'm not the only cynic. :-)

I read long ago that you can/should always trust recipes printed on manufacturer's packages; after all, they've chosen them to stake their ingredients' reputations on.

Absolutely. This article seems at once obvious...and wrong.

Or how about from people who have actually used them? I put getting a study for years because the whole thing seems such a massive scam. Shame on me: I really needed a bipap, and now I feel so much better. But I could have figured this out

Small elaboration: it didn’t “merge in” this feature, it independently evolved it (“convergent evolutionary pathway”), which implies it’s a particularly handy feature for this virus to have. (For the virus, not so much for us.)

This strikes me as a) not very well written, and b) not presenting all the relevant information. For example, if the study was designed to gather data for three years after each procedure, then taking into account data beyond that period wo

I'm not sure that sample size is a relevant idea here, but it's certainly misleading as you state it. One accident in many billions of miles would be a wonderful result, but you would dismiss it as a sample size of one.

My wife has a model 3. I have a BMW 535i. I used to love my BMW. Now I beg my wife to drive the Tesla, because the BMW feels like a clunky dinosaur. I agree that Teslas are generally not the most beautiful cars, but the torque, the handling

Having started my career in this space, many years ago, I've grown to think there is not a good business model to be had. It's too bad, because there's a huge demand. These small companies wind up with bad solutions all aroun

God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater is actually my favorite. Hope you get to it! Some of his later books, as you note, just got so preachy and overwrought, I couldn't get through them.

In our church choir, if the conductor wants us to "forget" the key we've been singing in, he just has the accompanist lean both arms onto the piano keyboard all at once.

I have to agree with TaupeRanger here. This certainly has (almost) nothing to do with playing an instrument. It has little to do with music theory in the traditional sense. This is for the programmer/mathematician side of your brain, p

I had exactly the same experience. Turns out that I am really sensitive to benzodiazepines. I now take 1/2 of a 0.25mg tablet when I know I'm going to do something that will trigger me (maybe twice a year). But a doctor initially
